What To Expect

Punalu'u Black Sand beach

Have you ever seen a beach with black sand? Because of constant volcanic activity, you'll find white sands and black sands on the island of Hawaii. Located on the southeastern Ka'u coast, Punaluu Black Sand Beach is one of the most famous black sand beaches in Hawaii. Located between the towns of Pahala and Naalehu in Ka'u, Punaluu Black Sand Beach's jet black shores are an unforgettable sight. Coconut palms fringe the upper edge of sand and you may also discover large Honu, (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles), basking on the beach.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park protects some of the most unique geological, biological, and cultural landscapes in the world. The park encompasses the summits of the world's most active volcano, Kīlauea. The only comprehensive Park Tour available. Tour the Park and the entire Chain of Craters Road from Summit to Sea.

Rainbow Falls

On sunny days, rainbows appear in the mist of the 80-foot falls, making for some pretty magical views. The broad waterfall — nearly 100 feet in diameter — plunges over a natural lava cave and into the river below. When it rains, (which it often does in Hilo), the engorged Wailuku River makes the falls wider, muddier and louder. On these days, you won’t see the rainbows for which this spot is named, but the sheer volume of water and the accessibility of this spot for all ages make it a fun, quick and easy excursion.

Saddle Road

Saddle Road, Hawaii, is considered among the most spectacular roads in the world. This is 55-mile drive of a chance of a lifetime experience. Hawaii’s Route 200 goes through all four of her climates – tropical forests, arid desert, lush grasslands and misty mountaintop fog. Between miles 19 and 23, you’ll see a few places with lava flows and young vegetation and trees. Near the road you can see where lava thickened and left the telltale mounds of a slowing flow. Just after mile 23, you’ll come close to a popular local landmark, Pu`u Huluhulu, which is an older Mauna Kea cinder cone, or kīpuka, and it’s surrounded by younger lava flows. At this point, you’re near the peak height for Saddle Road, about 1.25 miles in elevation – 6,632 feet. From here, you’ll continue through the volcanic aftermath of hundreds of thousands of years of lava activity as you head toward Belt Road, where you’ll eventually descend into Kona or Waikoloa.

Our guide Zane Smith was awesome. He wasn't just a guide but a geologist/botanist that new about the volcano and the plants at the Volcano national park. The walk inside the lava tube was awesome too. He was very accomodating to our request and he was also funny! We had an awesome time. Very memorable for our family!

Fantastic tour of the Big Island by our great tour guide and super geologist, Erik! Very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable about anything you want to know about volcanoes, local Hawaiian history, and interesting areas that you won’t get from the “big” tour operators. Lunch and snacks were included and all top notch. Because this a smaller tour outfit, Erik and his partner Zane (also a geologist!) are able to somewhat tailor each tour according to weather conditions, crowd conditions, and customer interests. The Mercedes Sprinter van we were picked up in was roomy and spotless. The tour is an all day affair but I have to say everyone of our stops, and not just the ones listed on the website, were fun, informative, and delicious (splurge on more than a few malasadas at the bake shop). I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the Big Island for the first time and would definitely try to book well in advance because as word gets around, these guys will be very busy for along time to come. Thanks again for a great tour, Erik - and btw, I still remember the difference between “A’a” and “Pahoehoe” lava! And folks, please don’t forget to tip these two extremely hard working small business owners after your great day of touring.
